The Richland students, Shanta Katipamula (grade 8) and Swetha Shutthanandan (grade 7), have a chance to be one of 30 finalists, who will be named Aug. 31.

If chosen, they will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C., to attend the finals. Finalists will compete for a share of more than $100,000 in prizes.
